lo… here comes the post on how I spent the last 10 days. Just one word to summerize it all. WONDERFUL.
I spent the first 5 days of vacation with my fiancee. We both had great time together roaming in Indore and eating out.
Then I left to my hometown machilipatnam. I reached my place on 3rd afternoon. From that moment I became the forecrawler for the laziness MTV awards 2005. Seriously I did nothing but eating and watching TV. everytime I thought of the books I carried my in my bag I convinced myself by saying “chandoo, vacation is meant for spending time with oneself and ones near and dear ones. dont spoil it by reading books or doing something really serious :D”. Well, whether faulty or not the logic worked. I managed to get the books back unruffled.
Talking about the time spent in home I cant tell you how much I enjoyed the food this time. I have become little crazy after continued doses of rotis and breads for 3 prolonged months. I dint even tough a single grain of wheat during those 4 days. My mom insisted that I should have chapati for breakfast on one day. She prepares them very well. But I said a firm no. Aah at the mere thought of idlis, bujjis, chutneys, pappus my mouth is watering.
after the omnipresent gastric lust there is little that can be said about the vacation. Of those insignificant things the most bloggable thing is the menacing visual entertainment I had. Actually there is nothing entertaining about it except the interval part. You guessed it right. I am talking about the movies here. I have seen 2 movies in the vacation. One is a telugu remake of Munnabhai MBBS. The other is a telugu dub of so called realistic tamil file 7/g Rainbow colony. The later one is little too real to be believed. The first one is not really boring basically because of the charismatic Chiru in the lead role.
barring the movies and mouthwatering dishes and high quality time spent with parents and relatives I have nothing to say about the vacation.
Now back here on the Hanuman Tekri things started moving. The timetable is already in the inbox. The books in the shelves. The enthu is back in full form. Hope this term goes like a breeze (:P). Will write more blogs in these 2 days on several things in my mind.
Tada!

Ciao Hui,
Collecting Excel tricks under the title “Notable Excel Websites (Non-MVP) Edition” is a brilliant idea…
Thank you in the name of all The FrankensTeam.
On our site there is a box with a picture and text highlighting:
This is a no-MVP site
we think ourselves “bad boys” a bit 🙂
For those who would like to know why our site is a no-MVP site, enough to click on the link:

Thank you again!
Thanks a lot
I really enjoyed this (newsletter). I must admit that I rarely read an Excel newsletter (and I subscribe to quite a few) all the way though, but this grabbed my attention and before I realized it, I was engrossed in it. I must also admit that most of this I don’t understand, yet. But, it excites me when I do learn something new in Excel. I can’t wait to see how much of this I can implement into my (constantly-evolving) ‘House Budget’ & ‘Family Medical’ worksheets that I have developed over the past few years! I sure hope to see more of these type of newsletters in the future! Thanks!
Thanks for doing this Hui! I appreciate being included.
I like Tom’s tip a lot. I posted about a tool I wrote to automate this at http://yoursumbuddy.com/tables-edit-query-dialog/
EXCELLENT !
Hui, This post is Superb! More over I have always been a fan of Roberto’s work and have learnt a lot from him.

I like the Excel Ninja Menus.
1. Select a cell or range then move till the 4-way cross appears. Right-Click and drag the selection to another place in the worksheet then, like a ninja, a menu full of skills and throwing stars pops up allowing me to do all kinds of awesomeness.
2. When you click the fill box on a Date and right click and drag it down, a lot of amazing Date options pop up.
I also brand my Excel to remind myself that I’m awesome. In my personal macro workbook I place the following code.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Caption = “SuperKrishna’s Awesomeness”
End Sub
My favorite tip goes along with #17. If you try to copy subtotaled data (and in earlier Excel versions filtered data),when you paste it all the data displays instead of just the summarized data.
To get around this, select your summarized data, click on Find and Select tab and then select Go to Special. Click Visible cells Only and click OK. Now paste and you will see that only the summarized data has been copied.
You can also go CTRL+G and then click the Special icon at the bottom of the dialog box.
What a great idea, Chandoo! I’d love to be included in your next edition:) Perhaps a VBA exclusive version?
@Ryan
I will review this concept about 6 months out from the original post and be sure to keep your site in mind
Hui…
That sounds great, Hui:) I just realized I gave credit to Chandoo for the idea and I should have attributed it to you.
Sorry about that!
